Regarding this candle holder, This was not made by Franco in my studio. All pieces are scratch signed to avoid confusion. Looking at the way the breasts have been moulded, I would say this is a piece from Murano. It is however well within Franco's capability to produce this item. Regarding Franco's pieces being sold in Perth as Andrews says Franco has a small selected client base and is never short of work.

Regarding Franco's signing of his work-Franco uses a motorized engraver to sign all his pieces this can be- FT- Franco or Franco Toffollo according to the piece. This has been the case in my studio. In the past he has used Giancarlo Toffollo. Incidentally Giancarlo means John in English. Franco is his chosen christian name.
